Greetings Fellow Homeowners!
For your reading enjoyment, the Unapproved Minutes of our recent May 18, 2022 Board meeting are posted on the website, desertmeadows3.com.
During the meeting several points were discussed by the Board and the Members present which, we agreed, should be shared.
The unlawful feeding of wildlife is a petty offense in Arizona. This does not include tree squirrels and birds. However, at least 2 Homeowners reported expensive repairs needed from roof damage by Ravens. Ravens are territorial birds and will hang around for an easy meal. We request that you don’t attract the Ravens by feeding them. Hopefully, they will get discouraged and move on to find their own sources of food, which are abundant because they will eat almost anything.
CC&R 7.A. states that “Trash containers shall be enclosed by an approved wall, or other structure when not placed out for pickup”. After much discussion amongst the Board and Members present, the Board agreed that since many homes were built without garages, it would be acceptable to store the trash container up by the house under the carport, as long as, it was neatly kept. This also aids the Homeowner in moving the container back and forth on pickup day.
Members brought to the attention of the Board a Homeowner on S. San Ray that is in perceived violation of CC&Rs, and they have witnessed dangerous and illegal activity. 911 was called and the Sheriff’s Deputies responded and are aware of the illegal activity. Their advice to all Homeowners is this: “If you witness dangerous or illegal activity, call 911. Do not be confrontational.” CC&R violations will be addressed by the Board, but illegal activity – call 911.
The AZ Supreme Court recently handed down a ruling that affects HOA CC&Rs. The CC&R Revisions committee will be meeting again soon. If you would like to be a part of this process, please join us.
The Nominations committee is still open to volunteers as well.
Thank you from your HOA Board,
Bill, Randy, Debra, Tom, Marsha, Morris, & Mike
